Hey guys I need a recommendation for a CD player but it HAS to have an RF remote. It will be going in the glove box of a 67' Camaro. We are not looking at breaking the bank but we still want something decent. Lets say something in the $200-$300 range. Oh and it also HAS to have an auxiliary input so we can plug a Dell DJ MP3 player into it.

Never heard of such a thing in the car audio world, sorry. Not saying it doesn't or never existed but just not that I've ever heard of.

You have two choices really. One is to use a head unit with wired remote capability--Sony, Alpine, and Pioneer all have that feature on most of their mid-level and up models.

The other is to get a home a/v "remote extender" like a Terk Leapfrog. Those types of remote extenders will convert IR to RF on the remote end and then back again on the device end. I'm pretty sure there's a Terk version that just slips on the top of the IR remote (meaning it's really small and connected to the remote) and then wire the blaster/receiver part up near the HU.

There is a company that makes a RF radio that can be hidden. Secret Audio makes radios mainly aimed at classic cars. Secret Audio (http://www.customautosound.com/secretaudio.htm) Hope this helps, not sure about the price, although I'm sure you can find one in your budget range.

I already found those guys but their hidden unit does not have an auxiliary input :(
